 taxpayer, OR AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS DESCRIBED IN  ARTICLE  FOURTEEN-A
 OF THE PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION LAW, shall be allowed
 a  credit as hereinafter provided, against the tax imposed by this arti-
 cle, in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the amount  of  credit
 allowed  the taxpayer for the same taxable year with respect to a certi-
 fied historic structure, and one hundred fifty percent of the amount  of
 credit  allowed the taxpayer with respect to a certified historic struc-
 ture that is a  small  project,  under  internal  revenue  code  section
 47(c)(3),  determined  without  regard  to ratably allocating the credit
 over a five year period as required by subsection (a)  of  such  section
 47,  with  respect  to a certified historic structure located within the
 state. Provided, however, the  credit  shall  not  exceed  five  million
 dollars.
   (ii)  For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
 sand thirty, a taxpayer, OR AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS DESCRIBED IN ARTI-
 CLE FOURTEEN-A OF THE PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC  PRESERVATION  LAW,
 shall  be  allowed  a  credit  as  hereinafter provided, against the tax
 imposed by this article, in an amount equal to  thirty  percent  of  the
 amount  of  credit allowed the taxpayer for the same taxable year deter-
 mined without regard to ratably allocating the credit over a  five  year
 period  as  required  by  subsection  (a)  of section 47 of the internal
 revenue code, with respect  to  a  certified  historic  structure  under

 shareholder in a New York S corporation, then the credit caps imposed in
 paragraph (a) of this subdivision shall be applied at the entity  level,
 so that the aggregate credit allowed to all the partners or shareholders

   (b) Tax credits allowed pursuant to this subdivision shall be  allowed

 internal revenue code with respect to a qualified rehabilitation that is
 also the subject of the credit allowed  by  this  subdivision  and  that
 credit  pursuant to such section 47 is recaptured pursuant to subsection
 (a) of section 50 of the internal revenue code, a portion of the  credit
 allowed  under  this  subdivision  must be added back BY THE TAXPAYER OR

 ATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION LAW in the same taxable year and in  the

 shall not reduce the tax due for such  year  to  less  than  the  amount
 prescribed  in  paragraph  (d) of subdivision one of section two hundred
 ten of this article. However, if the amount of the credit allowed  under
 this  subdivision for any taxable year reduces the tax to such amount or
 if the taxpayer otherwise pays tax based on  the  fixed  dollar  minimum
 amount,  any  amount  of credit thus not deductible in such taxable year
 shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be recredited  or  refunded
 in  accordance with the provisions of section one thousand eighty-six of
 this chapter. Provided, however, the provisions  of  subsection  (c)  of
 section  one  thousand  eighty-eight of this chapter notwithstanding, no
 interest shall be paid thereon.

 allowable under this subdivision, the rehabilitation project shall be in
 whole  or  in  part located within a census tract which is identified as
 being at or below one hundred percent of the state median family  income
 as  calculated as of April first of each year using the most recent five
 year estimate from the American community survey published by the United
 States Census bureau. If there is a change in the most recent five  year
 estimate,  a  census  tract  that  qualified  for eligibility under this
 program before information about the change  was  released  will  remain
 eligible  for  a  credit  under  this  subdivision for an additional two
 calendar years.  THE ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH  IN  THIS  PARA-
 GRAPH  SHALL  NOT BE APPLICABLE IF A QUALIFIED REHABILITATION PROJECT IS
 UNDERTAKEN:
   (I) WITHIN A STATE PARK, STATE HISTORIC SITE, OR OTHER LAND  OWNED  BY
 THE STATE, THAT IS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE OFFICE OF PARKS, RECRE-
 ATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION, OR;

 AN  INDUSTRIAL  DEVELOPMENT  AGENCY, THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO ENGAGE IN THE
 FINANCING, CONSTRUCTION OR OVERSIGHT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING  WITHIN  SUCH
 ENTITY'S  JURISDICTION,  AND  WHERE SUCH REGULATORY AGREEMENT SETS FORTH
 AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE FOR A  PERIOD  OF  NOT  LESS  THAN
 THIRTY YEARS AND THAT IS BINDING ON ALL SUCCESSORS OF THE TAXPAYER.
   (f)  For  purposes of this subdivision "small project" means qualified
 rehabilitation expenditures totaling two million five  hundred  thousand
 dollars or less.

 respect to a certified historic structure, and one hundred fifty percent

 A. 2711--A                         11

 the cap imposed in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall  be  applied

 (a) of section 50 of the internal revenue code, a portion of the  credit
